Time Varying Results Grid

The Time Varying Results Grid can be used to display:

Displaying Time Varying Results for a Single Object

To display a grid showing time varying data for a single network object:

  1. Make sure the simulation is open, and the GeoPlan Window is the Current Active WindowThe current Active Window in any Microsoft Windows application has a differently coloured title bar to all the other windows. In the default colour scheme, the active window title bar is blue, all other windows have a grey title bar..
  2. Click on the grid tool button on the Results Toolbar.
  3. Click on a network object on the GeoPlan. If more than one network object is under the cursor, a dialog will be displayed allowing you to choose the required network object.
  4. Select a network object and click OK to display the Time Varying Results Grid.

See the Results Data Fields section for details of the fields displayed in the grid.

Displaying Time Varying Results for a Selection of Objects

To display a grid showing a selected time varying attribute for a selection of network objects:

  1. Make sure the simulation is open, and the GeoPlan Window is the Current Active WindowThe current Active Window in any Microsoft Windows application has a differently coloured title bar to all the other windows. In the default colour scheme, the active window title bar is blue, all other windows have a grey title bar..
  2. Click on the grid selected objects button on the Results Toolbar. This will display the Grid Selection Dialog.
  3. In the Grid Selection Dialog, select the attribute and objects to be included in the grid.
  4. Click OK to display the Time Varying Results Grid.

See the Results Data Fields section for details of the fields displayed in the grid.

Displaying Summary Results for a Simulation

To display a grid showing summary results for a simulation for an InfoWorks or SWMM network, select Grid windows | New summary results window from the Window menu. The results are displayed in the following grids.

The grid displays the following results:

Results field Description
Dynamic storage

Calculated as:

Total volume - Total outflow
Total outflow

Calculated as:

Total outflow from outfalls + Total lost
Total lost Volume of water lost through nodes of flood type 'lost' since the start of the simulation.
Total outflow from outfalls

Net volume of water that has passed through outfalls since the start of the simulation.

Note:

  • Negative values may occur due to flows into the system via outfalls, for example a rising tide level.
  • Flow into/from 2D zones via 2D flooding, 2D inlets, 2D gullies or banks connected to 2D zones is also included.
Total rainfall Total volume of rainfall onto runoff surfaces since the start of the simulation.
Total runoff

Total volume of runoff from runoff surfaces since the start of the simulation.

Note: RDII and infiltration via the soil or ground stores is not included.
Total volume

Total volume of water into the system since the start of the simulation:

  • Inflows (from inflow object)
  • Waste water
  • Trade waste water
  • Runoff
  • Infiltration
  • Rainfall infiltration via soil and groundwater stores
  • Direct rainfall (onto ponds)
  • RDII

The grid displays the following results:

Results field Description
Dry weather inflow Dry weather inflow into the network since the start of the simulation.
Evaporation Evaporation from the network since the start of the simulation.
External inflow External inflow into the network since the start of the simulation.
Flood outflow Total outflow from flooded nodes since the start of the simulation.
Groundwater inflow Groundwater inflow into the network since the start of the simulation.
Infiltration losses Infiltration losses into the network since the start of the simulation.
Outfall outflow Total outflow from outfall type of nodes since the start of the simulation.
Rainfall Rainfall intensity since the start of the simulation.
RDII inflow RDII inflow into the network since the start of the simulation.
Runoff Runoff from the network since the start of the simulation.
Snow depth Snow depth since the start of the simulation.
Storage volume Storage volume since the start of the simulation.
System PET Potential evapotranspiration (PET) in the network since the start of the simulation.
Temperature Air temperature since the start of the simulation.
Total lateral inflow Total lateral inflow into the network since the start of the simulation.
